~NAMJOON POV~

Not much of a shock that our happy day out to the beach was ruined by paparazzi. Should of known really but we managed to fix the problem by telling them to get lost. Of course they didn't listen at first but it took Yoongi's threatening tone that they finally got the message and left.

We made our own way home after Taehyung taking the car to assure that Y/n got away safely before it became total chaos.

Hoseok called for a private car for us to pick us up at the beach and take us straight home. We needed to be sure Y/n was okay and again alone with Taehyung but at this point there's nothing really much to worry about since he seems to have taken my advice and accept her.

The six of us ran out the car that parked outside in our drive way. Barging through the front door, straight past the kitchen to the living room, only for us all to stop when Taehyung was descending from the stairs, a light smile on his face. It was a relief to see he was smiling given what happened back at the beach since he out of all of us hate the paparazzi the most.

"You look oddly calm. What's up with you?" Yoongi

"Better yet where is Y/n?" Jin

I nodded firmly, eyes still trained on Taehyung now standing at the bottom of the stair, hand stuck onto his pockets of his now dry sweats.

"She's fine. Kwan is with her now." Taehyung

I took a deep breath, then walked over to the nearest couch and drop myself on to it.

"Well I'm going to take this stuff to the kitchen then. Jimin you take the towels to the laundry room." Jin

I glanced over the couch to see Jin already walking away towards the kitchen, basket in hand and Jimin to follow him with two bags in his hands that would of been filled with wet clothes and towels.

"Was she really okay with what happened back there?" Hoseok

"Yeah she was alright. I little bit confused to why but other than that she's been very calm about it." Taehyung

I pushed myself up on the couch again, sitting up straight and fixing my glasses that were so close to falling off.

"Did you at least tell her what could happen after she was spotted at the beach?"

"Yeah because now that they spotted her with us in more clear view they'll definitely do some digging into their research and easily find out that she's no hybrid." Yoongi

He sighed, slumping into the spot on the couch beside me, pushing back some of his hair and throwing his head back against the back of the couch as if he was exhausted.

"So what if they find out she's human. The point is that she would never go out alone, she has us." Jungkook

"It's not the public we're worried about Jungkook and you know this."

I pointed out, giving him a raised brow as I watched him take a seat on the arm of the single seater chair that Taehyung is so fond of.

"Our parents can't do shit." Jungkook

"Actually they kind of can Jungkook. You know of their hatred towards humans and they would probably try anything to get rid of her since she is the last." Hoseok

Jungkook's eyes harden into a hard glare towards Hoseok across the room from him. Jaw clenching and nails digging into his arms that were crossed over the other. Thankfully Hoseok didn't think much of this look Jungkook was giving out and didn't take it to heart but you could see the wheels turning in Jungkook's mind that was until he let out a scoff and began to run towards the stairs and take large steps to get up faster.

"I won't let them touch her!!!" Jungkook

I sighed, watching his form disappear around the corner at the top of the stairs, running to Y/n's room most likely.

"Does he not realise that we feel the same way?" Yoongi

"He does, its just......well you know what he's like."

Now I sighed, frustrated and just stressed, waiting for that phone call or whatever from one of our parents to come next.

The kitchen doors banged open, catching everyone's attention. Jin and Jimin came running through, Jimin picking up the remote from the side table and turning on the tv.

"You guys it's already all over the news!" Jimin

"Just show them rather than tell them!" Jin

The tv came on and just like Jimin said the headline read:

MATE OF NOBLES SPOTTED. APPEARED TO BE HUMAN?

Oh shit.

My eyes never left the screen as the pictures back at the beach were already all over the tv. One picture of Y/n being carried on Jin's back, the other Jungkook hugging her from behind when we played volleyball and another of Y/n on Taehyungs shoulders in the water and linking hand with Jimin on Jungkook's. In seeing the water pictures, Taehyung let out a low growl and came to stand behind the couch I was sitting on.

Then the dog hybrid suddenly came into view, smartly dressed in his suit sitting behind his desk smiling at the camera, the same smile I wanted to smack off his face.

"Good evening, It seems that again the nobles were spotted on a private beach this afternoon on this hot day but as you have all seen they weren't alone. It appears that we finally have a proper outlook to the appearance of their rumoured mate. Reports have come back to say that she is indeed a human. How that is possible, no one knows as it was confirmed last year all humans are extinct but obviously that is not the case. The pictures speak for themselves. Does this mean we will have a Baroness for a human to rule by their sides?" Reporter

I scoffed but I wasn't alone in that. Yoongi did at the same time I did, scoffing at the tv but Jimin turned it back off, not wanting to listen to anymore shit on the tv.

"Obviously they'll have a new baroness whether people like it or not. Fucking assholes." Yoongi

He mumbled the last part, crossing his arms over his chest and crossing his one leg over the other.

"We haven't spoken to Y/n about what would be expected of her."

I mumbled, staring down to the floor. All this worry about people finding out about her and protecting her from others, I forgot about what people would expect of her like they do with us. Massive fuck up in my opinion.

"I think she could handle it. She's a strong girl and very bright and smart." Jin

"She did survive living in the wild for most of her life and some of that by herself." Jimin

"I agree. I think she'll be just fine." Hoseok

I do too but none of us have prepared her for that. Hell I'm not even prepared for that.

But all that thoughts went flying out the window when my phone in my pocket began to ring. I froze, feeling the vibrations on my leg through my jeans. Looking around the room to everyone staring back at me, wide eyes and most possibly thinking exactly what I'm thinking. Gulping down my nerves, I slowly pulled out my phone from my pocket, glancing down at the caller ID and not to my surprise I saw that it was my dad.

"Who is it? Mom or Dad?" Taehyung

"My Dad."

I stated and Yoongi cursed from beside me, loud and clear. My dad never calls me unless it's something big and important, like work or something. Never does he contact me just to check in, my mom does that but not him. Not my dad, so I know it's not good.

Pressing the accept button, I held a breath staring up at Jin as I spoke into the phone trying to remain as calm as possible.

"Hello?"

"Kim Namjoon, meeting. Your house. One hour." Dad

Then he hung up. I didn't even get a word in and he was just gone but that didn't matter. I froze, by whole body filling with fear and blood ran cold. I actually for once didn't know what to do but I know we can't run from this.

"What did he say?" Jimin

I looked at him fear and panic rose up in me and I didn't have to use my words for him to know what just happened. He sighed sadly, more like defeated.

"So how long do we have then?" Jimin

"An hour. They'll be here in an hour."

The whole room became quiet and filled with tension. None of us knew what to do except that one fact was that no matter what my dad said she's staying here with us and if it means getting into a fight with him then so be it.

I'll protect her with my life and I'm certain I'm not the only one in the house that thinks that way.

Bring it on.
